S. Covino (INAF/Brera) and E. Palazzi (IASF-Bo) on behalf of the REM
team report:
The robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile) observed
automatically the field of GRB 101219A (Gelbord et al. GCN 11461) with
the ROSS optical and REMIR near-infrared cameras in imaging mode.
The first observations have been performed within about 30s from the
GRB time.
No counterpart down to the 2MASS limit could be singled out in the XRT
error circle in the NIR frames, while the proximity of the bright Moon
(~30 deg) prevented deep optical observations.
Further observations are in progress.
